201 Weak Heart (3rd Subscription Request)
Although there was no bonfire in the evening, Céspedes was not in a hurry to leave the barracks. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Li Mu did not live in the mansion specially prepared for Li Mu by Cespedes, but lived in the barracks, this is not that Li Mu has any special feelings for the barracks, but Li Mu is afraid of death, Li Mu does not want to leave the protection of George Dewey when he is not clear about himself or herself, and at least take care of each other in the barracks.
Don't look at Cespedes's slapping of Benjamin's sycophants, but Li Mu's small team is still centered on Li Mu, so the house in the barracks is Li Mu's choice, and Li Mu can live wherever he wants.
Li Mu didn't have any special requirements, and with a finger of his hand, he chose the two-story small building where he had just eaten, so Yan Hu and Yan Shun took a few gunmen and started to work.
Chu Xue is not busy, wearing the same white cowboy hat as Li Mu, and a red scarf is tied to the neckline of the white shirt with white sand on the cuffs, the red and white are very good-looking, if it's just that, then it's okay, the key is that Chu Xue is not wearing a skirt, but Li Mu's well-designed breeches, wearing a half-high riding boots to the calf, and a silver short-barreled "python" craft pistol hanging on the belt around the waist, the whole person looks delicate and heroic, and it is really conspicuous in this military camp full of males.
Benjamin likes beautiful women the most, and he can't help but whistle when he sees the first snow.
It's not a joke, it's just a heartfelt compliment, like a heartfelt applause for seeing something beautiful.
As a result, Chu Xue, who was counting the supplies with a small notebook, not only did not appreciate it, but turned around with a death glare, which made Benjamin, the "famous second generation" from a famous family, immediately look away as if nothing happened.
This scene fell in the eyes of Cespedes, which really reflected a lot of information, and as a result, after learning the identity of Chu Xue, Cespedes immediately increased his communication with Li Mu.
It is true that Benjamin is a famous family, but Li Mu's little maid dares not to save face for Benjamin at all, which fully shows Li Mu's position in this small team, if Cespedes can't even see this, then Cespedes can't be the president, and he doesn't know who used him as a stepping stone to die in an unknown ravine.
It's a pity that Li Mu at this time has seen through Cespedes and doesn't have any hope for Cespedes, so Cespedes didn't get much enthusiastic response from Li Mu.
George Dewey's work enthusiasm was indeed high, and after obtaining the authorization for command training, George Dewey immediately disrupted the original establishment of the Cuban army, divided all the more than 6,000 Cuban soldiers into more than 100 groups according to the establishment of 60 people, and then randomly assigned more than 100 officers to lead the team and immediately conduct relevant training.
The first part of the training is to stand in a military position.
Don't underestimate the military posture, this simple action can not only exercise the will and enhance discipline, but also cultivate a good military appearance and enhance the collective cohesion of the soldiers, which is the first lesson of all soldiers.
George Dewey's military posture is an American-style military posture, according to Li Mu's understanding, this is similar to "straddling" a way of standing, this way is not actually used to exercise the body, but a preparatory action when exercising the body, but this action because of the back of the hands, objectively makes the waist more straight, looks like the upper body is wider, and the posture is more powerful.
At the same time, compared with the military posture of raising the head and chest up, the legs together, the arms hanging down naturally, and the middle finger close to the seam of the trousers, the action of straddle is more labor-saving, easier to train, and more suitable for these new recruits who have just entered the barracks.
George Dewey is still experienced, and instead of high-intensity training, he starts with a gradual process, which is easier to achieve.
When Li Mu found George Dewey, George Dewey was also standing in a military posture.
As the person in charge of military training, George Dewey had to lead by example, and George Dewey had to be able to master all tactical moves, and he had to be proficient in them, so that he could establish authority.
This is also the main reason why Li Mu is reluctant to go into battle in person, Li Mu does not want to insist on fighting on the training ground regardless of the wind and rain, Li Mu came to Cuba to get money, not to suffer.
However, there are those who are willing to suffer, Li Mu came to George Dewey because of Yan Hu, and Li Mu wanted to send Yan Hu to the barracks, which was not Li Mu's mandatory requirement, but Yan Hu's own initiative.
Li Mu just told Yan Hu that Li Mu needed to have his own spokesperson in the military, and Yan Hu did not hesitate to propose to join the army, just like Yan Hu did not hesitate to block the gun for Li Mu at the beginning.
"Join the army?" George Dewey glanced at Yan Hu with a resolute expression, and did not mean to look the other way.
Yan Hu's personal conditions are still very good, tall, strong, the scale of the chest muscles looks more spectacular than the chest of many women, born with a good body like a door panel, the weather in Cuba is relatively hot, Yan Hu neatly pulled the sleeves of his shirt above the elbows when he wore a military uniform, so the sleeves that were originally wide and suitable are now close to the muscles, and it looks like the muscles on the arms are entangled, and the lines are clear like a professional bodybuilder.
"Yes!" Yan Hu stands in the same posture as George Dewey, with his feet shoulder-width apart, palms behind his back, his left hand holding his right wrist, and the base of his thumb at the same height as the lower edge of his belt.
No one taught Yan Hu the essentials of these movements, but he learned them after watching them for a while just now, this is his talent.
"You have to answer 'Yes, sir.'" George Dewey got into the role quickly.
"Yes, sir!" Yan Hu is not slow to learn.
"The voice is too small for me to hear!" George Dewey was demanding.
"Yes, sir!" Yan Hu's voice was really loud, and Li Mu stood next to him and felt a little deaf in his ears.
It was obvious that George Dewey was not used to this kind of sonic attack, George Dewey was stunned and nodded, which was regarded as accepting Yan Hu.
Just accept it, Li Mu didn't care how George Dewey trained Yan Hu next, turned around and left the training ground, now it is noon, the sun is the hottest time of the day, Li Mu is indifferent to the so-called wheat-colored healthy skin.
Back in the two-story building, Cespedes was waiting for Li Mu.
Li Mu was not surprised at all, and led Cespedes straight to the study on the second floor.
Li Mu is lucky, this two-story small building originally belonged to a general of the former Spanish colonial army, it is said that it seems to be some kind of earl, the whole building is built with white marble, the exterior wall is full of religious pattern sculptures and decorative patterns, and the interior decoration is even more magnificent, in comparison Li Mu really became a hillbilly.
The general's residence, even if it is vassally elegant, must have a study, and there are still a lot of books in the study, but it is a pity that the bookcase is inlaid with gold leaf, which destroys this rich cultural atmosphere.
These gold leafs are not the same as those of the twentieth century, they are all real gold, and they can be peeled off and sold for money.
Li Mu's attention was naturally not on the gold, and he sat down with Cespedes, Li Mu got straight to the point: "Before I came, General Burnside briefed me on the situation of the Republic of Cuba, to be honest, it was worse than I expected, what I am worried about now is that those investments will not be recovered, in that case, I will become a junk stock in the eyes of Wall Street tycoons." ”
Li Mu's words are also rich in meaning, on the one hand, he shows his identity as the financial owner, on the other hand, he emphasizes his backer, the key is to convey a message to Cespedes: That's right, I did have a Cuban national debt, but it was not to enrich my pockets, but to support the Republic of Cuba, so let's not mention the money, who mentioned who is a puppy.
Cespedes's attention was not on the national debt, but on Li Mu's support: "In fact, before that, our momentum has been very good, we have defeated Bayamo, established the Republic of Cuba, the Spaniards are losing one after another, we have completed the unification of southeastern Cuba, if it were not for the Spaniards' troops, we would have wanted to attack Havana in one go." ”
Havana is located in the north of ancient Brazil, just opposite Santiago, Havana is the capital of Cuba, but also the largest city in Cuba, is the center of Spanish colonization of Cuba, in Havana, the Spanish built castles and churches, and established the famous University of Havana, from which Céspedes graduated.
As the center of Spanish rule in Cuba, Havana is very valued by the Spaniards, in Havana, there is the largest industrial cluster in Cuba, the Spaniards in Havana vigorously develop mining and smelting, sugar and winemaking, Havana cigars are famous all over the world.
Cespedes' desire to attack Havana is just talking, as far as the current Republic of Cuba is concerned, even if the Spaniards do not reinforce it, the Republic of Cuba will not have the ability for a while, just look at the current situation of the Republic of Cuba, where is this, it has begun to fall into a strange circle of internal friction for power and profit, look at this posture, even if the Spaniards do not attack, they can wait for the Republic of Cuba to consume themselves alive.
"Attacking Havana is not a good option, now you should be a pure team, don't you feel that there is a problem in your team? Although those contradictions have not yet surfaced, if you keep ignoring them, then sooner or later Qianli will collapse in the anthill. For the sake of Cespedes taking the initiative to come to Li Mu, Li Mu still gave his own advice.
"Pure team—of course I do, but it's a little complicated right now." Céspedes smiled bitterly, he didn't know that the current Republic of Cuba had serious hidden dangers, but the current Céspedes had fallen from power, so Céspedes could not do anything but watch the situation continue to deteriorate.
Bringing in U.S. support is Cespedes' greatest effort to break this situation.
